So you want a kitten?... or so you think

So you want a kitten?
No. Actually its your kid who thinks you want a kitten.
OK. so what kind of a kitten should you get. What breed do you think would fit into your livestyle. will this new kitten be good to your kid? thats important. never mind if your kid is not cat friendly. whats important is that the kitten do not scratch or hurt your kid, even in self-defence, when its been manhandled.
How do you feed this new cat? with what?
you have no idea, do you?
But you still feel you need this cat, because your kid has been bugging you for one.
Actually, she wanted a puppy. But you figured a puppy is too much of a hastle, taking him for walks everyday and night. that's just too much work for a busy mum/dad..so a cat is easier. All you need is to make sure she goes to the litter box. You can clear the litter box every week, if you can find the time.
This first consideration has got to be overcome before we move on to the next topic and help...

new cats on the block

Today, as I was walking along the void deck along the HDB block of flats in my neighbourhood, I found some new strays. They came from nowhere. They were not there last time I came by. Where did they come from?
I cannot help but feel sorry for these cats that are so homeless, unloved, uncared for.
So, now I have to go find some food for them. No just any human food. That would actually hurt them more than anything, because of the oil used in our cookings, which are already harmful to us human, what more for these felines.
The grey female looks pregnant. She was fierce, and very very hungry. Looks like another 3 weeks before she will deliver another litter of homeless kittens...
how are were going to keep helping these cats find a good home ?
